    Possible 2016 Supercharged

    AMG does indeed make TQ monsters. The V12 biturbo makes 740 ft/lbs stock mated to their 7g tronic. The V8 biturbos come with 660 ft/lbs stock in the SL63 and S63 models running on the 7-MCT transmission. Many of these have been modded making well over 700 ft/lbs at the wheels with no issues...

    Challenger Hellcat gets 707HP!

    I heard the same about the TA. I tried out the GTS as that's what was on hand. Unfortunately there are no TA's around for me to try out. :( The GTS I tried was a '14 that already had the washers under the seats removed and pedals all the way back. If new TAs are coming in 2015 I'll keep an...

    Challenger Hellcat gets 707HP!

    I'm only 6'0, but a lot of my height is from the waist up which makes headroom a problem in some cars. Car shopping is a little interesting as I take my helmet with me to make sure I fit in it properly. I get a lot of strange looks doing that.

    Challenger Hellcat gets 707HP!

    I don't get a lot of this dissatisfaction with how the Viper looks. I think it looks great. It looks like a Viper. You see it and you immediately know what it is as there's nothing else that looks like it. I wouldn't want it to look like an Italian exotic or an Aston or a Porsche or...

    Challenger Hellcat gets 707HP!

    I can live with a manual and have had a few recent manual cars such as 997.2 GT3 and an Ariel Atom. I would have preferred an auto as I get older and lazier though. It's the rest of the population that turns their nose up at manuals. And rightly so as they can be a pain to drive, especially...

    Challenger Hellcat gets 707HP!

    The viper has a few inherent flaws as I see it. One is headroom, or lack of. I went to check one out a while back with the intent of getting one. Until I sat in it. My head was hitting the roof. They could have sold it at 1/2 off and it wouldn't have mattered as I couldn't drive it. Two is...

    Headroom

    I went back this weekend to do a re-test fit after moving the pedals and found they were already as far back as they would go. I'm not not a heavy guy, only 185 so it's not that. If I didn't need to ever wear a helmet it would be ok, but I don't see that happening. Not taking it to the track...

    Headroom

    Didn't see an TA's around, but lots of GTSs. Some dealers have 6 of them. The one I was at had 2. Yes, I moved the seat as far forward as I could comfortably go to operate the pedals and reclined it, there isn't much room for that. I didn't move the pedals though. Those move? The...

    Headroom

    I went to look at a 2014 GTS this weekend and though I'm only 6'0 my hair was almost brushing the roof. I'm tall above the waist so not an uncommon problem for me. I had the seat lowered all the way down and in my driving position. I took my helmet in and with it on I had to have my head...
